cartographic

[ca. 1795]
The left hand side of this sheet is a brief report on the military defences of Peterhead, including the state of the batteries, and the right hand side shows a full, coloured sketch of the town and harbour, with an inset sketch of the two batteries.
It is part of a series of 7 similar sketches and reports, the others being Arbroath, Dunbar, Montrose, Aberdeen, Banff and Campbeltown, (at shelfmarks MS.1649.Z.03/56a, MS.1649.Z.03/56b, MS.1649.Z.03/56c, MS.1649.Z.03/56d, MS.1649.Z.03/56f and MS.1649.Z.03/56h). The Dunbar report is contained in a letter to Lord Adam Gordon, dated "Edinburg June 1st 1795", which is signed "Your Lordships Very obedient H. Servant W.G. Lt. R. Engrs",  and has a pencil note "William Gravatt" added at a later date. The Campbeltown plan and report are uncoloured, and a note with them indicates that they are earlier drafts of those sent to Lord Adam Gordon. There is a plan of the batteries at Greenock (at shelfmark MS.1649.Z.03/5g) which may also be part of the series, but has no report with it.
Has no scale statement or directional indicator.
Has no watermarks, but has "B.O" with upwards arrow, stamped in red.
Shows Peterhead, Scotland.
